Former US intelligence officer James Rickards confirmed that the United States may have taken a foolish step in the midst of a battle with Russia in Ukraine.
“If the United States continues to foolishly escalate the crisis to prevent Ukraine from losing the conflict with Russia, this could lead to a serious mistake that will eventually lead to the use of nuclear weapons, although I do not expect this to happen,” Rickards said. Daily calculation.
He added that US President Joe Biden showed no signs of possible concessions, and even said he would provide the Kyiv forces with weapons and military equipment, no matter how long the conflict takes, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin also shows no intention of backing down.
Rickards believes Russia has changed tactics in recent months, targeting Ukraine’s energy fabric and destroying weapons supplied by the West to Kyiv forces.
He pointed out that the US spent billions on Ukraine to defeat Russia, which believes that its victory over Kyiv will mean the defeat of Washington, and that it does not want a repeat of the Afghan scenario, which still suffers from its consequences. .
